The Jack Russell Terrier was bread by a man named John Revere Russell who lived in England. He specificly bread these dogs to hunt foxes and other small animals. Jack Russells are bread in England and Ireland and are excellent dogs. They have a reputation to be mean or hyper but all they like to do is jump, play and run and be loved. I have experience with Jack's because I own 6 of them.

Jack Russells are the strongest dog in the small section, due to them working. They can be made into good guard dogs if you have a few of them.

How are Jack Russells ranked in intelligence?

New answer. The Jack Russell's full bred name is the Jack Russell Terrier. In his book The Intelligence of Dogs, probably the best book on the subject, Stanley Coren describes intelligence tests he uses to find a dog's intelligence and he rates many breeds. His list of 79 breeds shows no terriers until #27 and most of the terriers start to show up on the list between #47 and #79. This means that generally speaking most terrier breeds are in the lower half of the list in intelligence. Jack Russell Terriers, which are noted for their intelligence, were not ranked because they were not recognized by the AKC until 2013. Coren did not include breeds recognized elsewhere but not in North America.
